Program for using midi keyboard as computer keyboard.
When using Ubuntu, the following packages are required to build the source:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libportmidi-dev libx11-dev x11proto-core-dev libxtst-dev
It should be possible to compile the source on another Linux distributions.
Compiling and running of program is quite simple:
qmake && make && ./piano-keyboard
The program will send key events when you're pressing keys or combinations mentioned in layout.ini file.
You can find human-readable representation of the layout in layout.pdf file. Note that you should hold
Shift key to input upper case letters and symbols, just as on usual keyboard.
You can adjust the name of MIDI device being used by changing #define MIDI_DEVICE_NAME in
main.cpp.
It should be a string contained in your device name. The list of available MIDI devices with their names
appear in the program output on startup.
Commit delay is the biggest time interval that can be passed between two notes for they to be considered as a single chord. You can change the commit delay in Midi_parser.h file.
Layout can be changed in layout.ini file.
